Roxy Adopted!

Roxy Adopted!

The final Super Saturday adoption!


Roxy was an early Christmas gift, dumped in a sack on 24 December 2020 outside the Sanctuary.  She was an immediate hit with the staff and volunteers, being a bundle of energy and very affectionate.  We couldn't be happier that after a long wait, she has been taken in by Eren, who adopted Biscuit earlier in the year, so Roxy will have a playmate!

We're not denying we are a little sad to see Roxy go - she loved walks with volunteer Jonathan, where she would run free, tumbling and tussling with Tin Tin - but this is what DAS is all about; taking in the unwanted and unloved, showing them care and affection, possibly for the first time in their unfortunate lives, and finding them the homes they deserve to spend their days with love and dignity.


If you think you could provide a home for life, without cages and chains, for one of our rescues, then please get in touch.  There are so many worthy dogs waiting for you on the Rescues page. 


You can find out more about Roxy on her profile page here.  Bye bye Roxy, and good luck!

Jonathan’s Tribe

Jonathan's Tribe

As well as great physical and mental exercise (for the walkers too!), taking dogs out on the lead outside the Sanctuary gets our rescues better prepared for that new life when they get adopted. Some dogs don't need leads, and walk with us wherever we go. This is Jonathan's tribe - every Wednesday he completes 5 or 6 walks in the company of TinTin, Phoenix and Bella. They bound ahead and clear the way while Jonathan and the lead-bound dog follow on behind. It's just possible that they are the best exercised dogs in the Province, as they are there on EVERY walk!

Here are some of today's walked dogs out having fun in the woods behind the Sanctuary.   If you are local, and can COMMIT to a regular time slot each week for months on end, then get in touch with us to see about becoming a DAS Volunteer.
